German Politician Uses Cleavage in Campaign

Well, this is certainly a new one.  We over here in the US could only talk about how Sarah Palin showed a little leg, but she never even dared to show any cleavage.  Shoot, it’s hard enough for women (yes, still even in this day and age) to be taken seriously in politics, and if you throw some cleavage in there it suddenly becomes about how you are using sex to get votes. Unfortunate, but true, those are the “issues” we tend to focus on.  Well, a female politician in Germany actually has pushed the cleavage envelope and has put out a promotional poster of herself sporting ample cleavage for her recent campaign, and of course there’s talk about it.

Actually, it’s two women who are part of a Christian Democratic party that are on the poster. They looked so much alike and both had such ample cleavage I did a double take, but it is two women, and both are wearing very low cut, tight black tops.  The campaign poster adds ot the tongue in cheak aspect of the poster by saying “we have more to offer”.  Hmm, more boobs I suppose?  At any rate, if they wanted to get attention then this is certainly working, as there have already been numerous discussions over the posters, some thinking they’re tacky and over the top and other thinking they’re just plain funny.

I tend to be from the camp that they’re “just plain funny”.
